Owing to high price of labor, and scarcity of good help, combined with high
price of land, has caused the growers to advance their growing prices. There
was almost a failure of some varieties of Peas, Carrot, and Beet, last year,
and prices higher. Many sorts are very scarce, and will be higher than hereto-
fore. If seeds can be purchased for less money, 1 want to know it, and I will
fill orders as low, or lower than any seed firm in the country if I have the seeds
to do it. It is my ambition to keep in touch with my customers and not be un-
dersold by other dealers. Ail of my seeds are grown by the best growers in this
country and Europe, and I sell them at a very small profit. I v ish you would
compare my prices with those of other dealers, so you will not feel that I want
unreasonable prices. I have increased facilities for filling orders. I keep 75 to 85
hands at work, and they often fill fifteen hundred orders per day both large and
small for mail, express, and freight. I solicit your orders as soon as possible af-
ter receiving this catalogue, so there will not be delay during the spring rush of
orders. It would equalize the work better than to have a great rush all at once.
NOTICE. My seeds have been very free from injury by mistakes of growers
and work-hands, but owing to a possibility of errors, or failure of seeds to grow,
over which I am unable to control, I hereby in common with all other Seedsmen
of the American Seed Trade Association, I give no warranty express or implied,
as to description, purity, or productiveness of any seeds I sell. Therefore, sub-
ject to the above conditions, and by reason thereof, I have made very low prices.
If the purchaser does not accept them on these terms, they must be returned
at once, and the amount paid for them will be returned. E II. SHUMWAY.

1 will sell you GOOD SEEDS at low prices.
. Please re^iember! that seeds which are often sold at
very high prices are not necessarily any better. It de-
pends entirely on the amount of profit the dealer desires
to make out of his customers. In large cities where rent
and help are high, an additional profit is added. I have
no rent to pay, as I own the three stores I occupy, and
help is not expensive here. My seeds are grown as care-
fully, and of as good quality as can be produced by any
professional growers in the world. Having devoted the
first thirty five years of my busy life on the farm, I can-
not be so unmindful of the welfare of the tillers of the
soil, as to attach an unreasonable profit to any varieties
I can produce, or secure. I can subsist on a very small
profit in the future, as in the past, and my greatest de-
s’re is to lighten the burdens of my fellow-men. I will
bo very thankful for a liberal share of your orders, and
I will exercise every eifort to make it an advantage to
you,, and it would be an encouragement to me through
my advancing years. I am proud of my 125 000 patrons.
Many of them have been my customers for thirty years.
What I pay postage and exp. on.
I pay postage, and express charges, except when selected
from the wholesale list, or by the i bu. ibu. ibu. or bu.
When a quantity is ordered at'wholesale, I reserve right
to inclose in the package, such smaller packets as may be
included in the order. For this privilege, I add extras to
well satisfy my customers, and the addition of the packets
does not increase transportation charges. A liberal lot of
selected, extra packages, is presented free in each order.
The best way to remit money.
When making a remittance, please do not send Checks
on local Bank, because it costs too much to collect them.
All remittances must be made with the orders; either by
Post Office Money Order, Express Order, Bank Draft on
New York, or Chicago, EegistePd Letter, or any approv’d
method. 1 accept Post Stamps, only when it is impossible
to make remittance by any other method. Stamps are not
more safe in mail than Paper Money. Sign your name ad-
dress plainly. R. H. SHUMWAY, Rockford, 111.

Lettuce is easily grown, and a profitable garden crop.
The best known salad plant in this country. It makes a profitable crop for the
market gardener to grow in hotbeds, or greenhouse during the winter and early
spring. It commands a good price, and always in demand. It can be sown in the
open ground as early as the soil can be wmrked. Sow in rows twelve, or more in-
ches apart, and when plants become well established, thin to an even stand; not
too thick. In order to have a good, crisp and tender lettuce, it must be grown on
the best, and richest soil, as its crispness depends on the rapidity of growth. The
ground cannot be too rich to bring it to perfection. In order to have continuous
